WSU VETERINARY SCHOOL MAKES A KILLING.. HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR DOG OR CAT TODAY?

The county of Spokane stopped sending their animals to WSU- what's taking
everyone else so long?

Concerned citizens, students, and rescuers, and others will gather for a
vigil in remembrance of lives lost, and hold a press conference to discuss
what is being done to stop the sending of animals to WSU.

"these dogs are used in continuing education seminars, and if these dogs are not
available to use for that, there would be a huge loss of revenue for the
college." Dean Warwick Bayly stated, when addressing the issue of dogs coming
into WSU from local shelters.

Dean Bayly pretends that the animals are needed for educational purposes,
but it seems he could no longer hold back his true intention - $Money
Making$

Animals are sent from local Washington shelters to WSU Veterinary school for
various purposes. According to its contract, WSU Vet School is allowed to use
said animals for multiple procedures, teaching exercies and an invasive surgery
that ends their lives. However, what atrocities really occur can only be heard
from the students themselves:

"Not all of the dogs who have been sent to WSU have been used in teaching
the students. Last year, some of the dogs bought for 'education' were used
in pharmaceutical testing. This testing brings a lot of money into the
university." 
WSU Vet Student

"Once the dogs arrive at WSU, they are never allowed to go outdoors, come in
contact with anything but steel or concrete, or have free time outside their
cages. These dogs are poked and prodded with needles, endotracheal tubes, etc.,
and rendered unconscious again and again." WSU Vet Student

"I was shocked by what my classmates said about the number of cat spays or
neuters they had done, no one did more than 3 cat spays and 3 cat neuters." WSU
